My mouth is watering just thinking about writing this review.While standing in line waiting to order and I changed my mind about 50 times because I just wanted to sample one of everything. One of the servers had informed all of us that their mac and cheese was not to their normal standard and then noodles were a bit mushy. I'm thankful they gave the heads up. I still got it anyway and I have to say that was tasty despite the mushy noodles. Potato salad was fabulous. But the creme de la creme was the meat always the meat. I was fortunate enough to get the pulled pork and brisket as soon as like they opened up the second line. It was like precision surgery as the they prepped the meat to be served to me. - Wendy Jorgensen
